Mike Green Is Killing Fantasy Teams Worldwide

So how many people out there drafted Mike Green thinking after a tough year in 2010-11 he would return to regular form and put up 70 points? Well you can toss my sorry ass on that list. I even drafted Mike Green the year before and was rewarded with his 24 points in 49 games. Solid numbers for most d-men in the league, but not what you would expect from one of the top offensive d-men the game has seen in a long time. So far this season Green has 6 points in only 10 games. Needless to say I was expecting a lot more out of my 2nd round pick as the guy who gambled on Sidney Crosby has gotten more out of Sid than Green.

Earlier in the week the Capitals announced that Green would be out of action once again, this time for 4-6 weeks with abdominal surgery. Green has been struggling with injuries all season including an ankle injury to start and a groin injury that kept him out even longer. When you toss in taking a puck to the head and a big hit that put him out last season you can see the last two years for Green have just been a mess and you can't help but feel sorry for the guy. But things could be looking up for him.
